is pretty much straightforward. You'll need standard hand tools
and if you have a Jeep, make sure you have a large Torx bit if
you need to take off the bumper and/or install a winch mount.
In our case, we already had a Ramsey on our Bulletproof
Bumper, so we just needed to get the Platinum out and replace
it.

Installation
Notes

Our Platinum
9000 was already mounted on our Bulletproof Bumper.

If you have
to remove your bumper, air tools make a huge difference. We
used our Power Tank for
air.

One of our
bumper's Torx bolts was a bit cross-threaded in the frame, so
we decided it was best to leave it alone and simply rotate the
bumper out and slide the winch out the side.

The winch
gets bolted onto the mount with the nuts and washers on the
inside of the winch's feet. Getting them in place can be tricky.
Using a pick can make a world of difference.

Once the
winch is put in place, the bumper can be put back on.

Once the
bumper is back on, any lights can be remounted, as well.

The winch
and bumper are now completely mounted. Next, the hook must be
attached.

The hook
uses a roll pin to attach it to the loop on the end of the winch's
rope.

Assembling
the hook is a bit interesting and small hands would have been
helpful.

The main
piece is inserted through the hook and loop. Then the roll pin
is lightly hammered in place.

Once the
roll pin is flush, we got it inside the hook a bit by hammering
on a center punch. Repeat for the other side, using the second
roll pin.

Here it is.

new pull strap which they recommend using when pulling the line
out.
